Breaking Your Fast Food Addiction Easily: Say NO to Junk Food!
Do you find yourself constantly craving junk food? Do those greasy burgers and salty fries seem to have a hold on your taste buds? You’re not alone. Fast food addiction is a real phenomenon that affects millions of people worldwide.
But breaking the cycle of junk food cravings can be difficult, especially when our brains are wired to seek out these high-fat, high-sugar foods. That’s where Alan Gilchrist and his Fast Track Hypnosis comes in.
Fast Food Addiction in Northern Ireland
Fast food addiction is a term used to describe the compulsive consumption of unhealthy, processed foods that are high in sugar, fat, and salt. While fast food can be an occasional treat, regularly consuming it can lead to serious health problems like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and more.
The addictive nature of fast food comes from its ability to trigger pleasure centres in the brain. When we eat these types of foods, our brains release dopamine – a neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of pleasure and reward – which creates an intense craving for more.
Breaking free from fast food addiction can be incredibly challenging due to the chemical changes that occur in our brains. These cravings are not just psychological; they are rooted in physiological responses within the body.
Additionally, social pressures make access to healthy meals difficult at times. It’s often faster and cheaper to grab something off a drive-thru menu than it is to prepare something healthier at home or find healthy options when on-the-go.
What is Junk Food and what are the dangers?
Junk food is a term used to describe foods that are high in calories, sugar, fat and salt but low in nutrients. These foods are typically highly processed and often contain additives such as preservatives, artificial colours and flavours.
Some common examples of junk food include fast food burgers and fries, crisps, sugary drinks like energy drinks, cakes and other baked goods.
While these foods may taste good temporarily, they can have serious negative consequences on our health. Junk food has been linked to an increased risk for obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and other chronic illnesses.
Eating junk food regularly can also lead to addiction-like behaviours where we crave the temporary pleasure it provides despite knowing the long-term harm it causes.
Breaking the cycle of junk food cravings
Fast Track Hypnosis can be an effective tool for breaking the cycle of junk food cravings because it addresses the root cause of addiction – the subconscious mind. Our conscious mind may know that junk food is bad for us, but our subconscious mind often craves it due to emotional or psychological factors.
What Happens During Fast Track Hypnosis?
During Fast Track Hypnosis, Alan guides you into a deep state of relaxation where your subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and new ways of thinking. Alan may suggest new habits and behaviours related to healthy eating, while also addressing any underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to your addiction.
By accessing your subconscious mind through hypnosis, you can rewire your thought patterns and break free from unhealthy habits. This process can help reduce urges for junk food, increase motivation towards healthier eating habits and ultimately lead to long-term success in maintaining a healthy diet.
With the guidance of a qualified hypnotherapist like Alan Gilchrist, Northern Ireland’s Top Hypnotherapist , individuals struggling with fast food addiction can overcome their cravings and achieve lasting wellness.
How Fast Food Affects the Brain
Fast food addiction is a complex issue that can be difficult to overcome. The science behind it lies in the way our brain processes certain types of foods, particularly those that are high in fat, sugar, and salt.
Research has shown that consuming these types of foods triggers the release of dopamine in the brain, which creates feelings of pleasure and reward. Over time, this can lead to a cycle of craving and consumption as our brains seek out that same pleasurable feeling.
Additionally, studies have found that fast food can also cause changes in the brain’s chemistry and structure over time. This includes reducing sensitivity to insulin and increasing inflammation, both of which contribute to health problems like obesity.
Furthermore, fast food addiction affects not only the physical aspects but also the psychological ones. It stimulates areas within our brains responsible for memory formation and learning; therefore making it more challenging for people who are trying to change their eating habits because they associate certain emotions with specific foods.
How Fast Track Hypnosis Helps Break the Cycle of Junk Food Cravings
The problem with fast food addiction is that it’s not just a matter of willpower or self-control. The chemicals and additives in junk food can actually alter the brain’s chemistry, making it more difficult to resist cravings.
Fast Track Hypnosis has been shown to be an effective tool for breaking the cycle of junk food cravings by addressing the underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to the addiction.
The Benefits of Fast Track Hypnosis for breaking fast food addiction
One major benefit of using Fast Track Hypnosis to overcome a fast food addiction is that through guided relaxation techniques and positive affirmations, individuals can reprogram their thoughts and beliefs surrounding junk food.
Furthermore, Fast Track Hypnosis helps individuals gain better control over their behaviours by reducing stress and anxiety levels. Overeating or indulging in unhealthy foods often stems from emotional triggers such as stress or boredom. Hypnotic suggestion helps individuals identify these triggers and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Another benefit of utilising Fast Track Hypnosis is that it promotes long-term success in overcoming a fast food addiction. Rather than providing short-term solutions like crash diets or detoxes, Fast Track Hypnosis instils lifelong habits centred around healthy eating choices.

After piling on pounds after the birth of my second child and trying every possible diet, I thought I would always be fat. Thankfully I picked up the courage to see Alan in one of his clinics.
I wasn’t sure what to expect but was delighted that weight just seemed to drop effortlessly. I now have a new found confidence and a new wardrobe. I wish I had done it years ago.
